An ULTIMATE choice of actors for an impossibly good Tekken film

k guys, I spent like a couple of days at work and stuff thinking about this, and tbh think I have a very good list. Not really realistic, as have tried to include many big names but still very, very good imo, like 'what if you were a multi-millionaire' type thing. Here it goes:
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Jin Kazama - John Foo (same actor as Tekken 2010, he seemed pretty good to me), or possibly Tony Jaa

Cyborg Kazuya - ^ as above can keep the same actor, Ian Dale, he seemed ok. Or Marc Dascascos would be good.

Heihachi - Bolo Yeung, get this guy out of retirement for this movie, he'd be perfect.

Jinpachi / ogre / azazel / monster - cgi

Jun Kazama - Kristin Kreuk or Samaire Armstrong (Samaire grew up in Japan, maybe that'd help)

Asuka Kazama - Jessica Alba

Marshall Law - Jason Scott Lee

Forest Law - Danny Chan, aka Chan Kwok-Kwan

Paul Pheonix - Chuck Liddell - they're personalities are identical, actually a pretty good choice.

The Kings (King, Armor King, etc.) - The Rock, Danny Trejo. Trejo is kinda old now though, I didn't know, maybe just have him as an old King trainer. Vinnie Jones for another King.

Baek - Steven Seagal

Hwoarang - Kevin Zegers, Zac Efron - seriously, any Hollywood pretty-boy that can learn the martial arts

Bryan Fury - Steven Lang (watch Avatar for a preview)

Lei Wulong - Jackie Chan, I know he's kinda old now, but Lei is pretty old in the game

Bruce Irving - Rampage Jackson

Jack - Brock Lesnar

Nina Williams - Aj Cook, Joanna Krupa, Mina Suvari - any of these girls would be good

Anna Williams - ^ i suppose one of those girls also, or one of their sisters

Steve Fox Williams - Tom Felton, would have to train the kid up in boxing

Michelle Chang - Sandra Bullock, or Teri Hatcher

Julia Chang - Emma Watson, Miley Cyrus, any young Hollywood brunette girl that can do the martial arts and acrobatics really

Christina - Gina Carado OR even Rianna would be good, if character was secondary

Raven - was gonna say Wesley Snipes, but can keep the guy from Tekken 2010 he was pretty good

Yoshimitsu - Jim Carrey - I'm serious about that one. His character's meant to be weird comic-relief

Kunimitsu - anyone, character un-important

Lee Chaolan - anyone really, if decide to include properly. Character un-important

Eddie - ?, not sure about this one

Kuma - trained circus bear

Roger and fam. - some kangaroos
Alex and fam. - cgi, if it came down to it

^ that's it. A pretty good list for all the characters worth mentioning to make an epic movie.

Crap. You cast way too many caucasians in asian roles.

hmmm

the only ones I have done that with are: Asuka, Baek (and even Seagal claims his grandfather was from Mongolia) and Hwoarang

Either that was enough to piss you off, or you're wanting actors of full asian ancestry to play the roles - in which case you will find that you're in the vast minority.

General conclusion: you're a tool

[–] metal_head1216 11 years ago

However, you picked Jessica Alba who has no asian ancestry whatsoever for a Japanese character. Kill yourself, son.

the characters would be speaking in english, perhaps I should have made that clear

[–] metal_head1216 10 years ago

My point is she doesn't even look Asian. Doesn't matter what they're speaking. There are Asian actresses that speak English.
